Oh how exciting! I can’t wait to see what people come up with and what paintings they choose. I hope I will have time to participate!

Felix

Lilikins the last events felt a bit short, so I've increased the upload period to four weeks.

If that doesn't cut it you can always do a Mondrian 🤷

I love the idea. Hope I'll have time to participate....

Lilikins

Felix lol I will find a way to make time! Painting is my happy place. I do appreciate the extended event length. It’s nice when you can take your time on a project 😃

Oh @Felix! this is a tough challenge! A lot of thinking and even more than usual hard work will be here!

Great idea for a challenge. I'll really try to participate in this one. I've already begun looking at more well-known paintings. If anything, this is giving me the chance to better educate myself. Because of the first uploaded contribution, I've discovered the artwork of Caspar David Friedrich more in depth. I'm thinking I might try one of his.

This is such a great idea! Hope I find time to participate!

I was googling entire evening yesterday to find something to attempt to replicate...it is a difficult task to select the One. Luckily I started one more Aivazovsky seascape day before yesterday, unluckily I got stuck as I did not research original enough...I still hope I will finish that one, and if time permits I will try something more impressionistic for the Event.

Felix

just from the uploads I've seen now this is probably my favorite event yet!

Sunnylady

There are such wonderful paintings posted already, I do not dare to comment as each of them is fantastic and each of them gave a lot of knowledge to ones who dared to participate! 👨‍🎨🖌👩‍🎨

Felix

15 paintings submitted and 4 more days to go!

If anyone needs an extension to finish their submission let me know and I'll move the deadline back a little 🙂

Oh wow! I had the worst day at work so it’s so nice to come home to wonderful news.

Congrats to all the participants! This was my favorite event so far. Excellent idea! It was so nice seeing renditions of paintings I already loved, and then learning about new artists and their work.
